Good faculty but no career guidance, after you're done with your final exam they leave you like you don't exist and it's same with many UK universities. Some good professors may guide you till end if you ask for help.

Clinical Optometry MSc

University rating (5)

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

Law LLB LLB (Hons)

University rating (3)

The only word to accurately describe City is mid. The facilities aren't up to much. The SU may as well not exist. The options regarding sports are limited. The City Law School Society is a waste of £6. To their credit, the lecturers are good at what they do. However, my overall view is that if you are looking for a university with a sense of community, look elsewhere. The 'student life' at City is nonexistent. Looking to try something new? Societies are mostly based on either: a culture/nationality, a faith, or an academic programme (however they do have a select amount of political/campaign groups). Good luck with that one! I once asked the Students Union whether a rowing club could be set up. The response being that there is no need as the wider University of London already has one (for context, the UoL boating team is an elite team that only takes on highly experienced rowers from rowing teams at member institutions, such as the UCL rowing team). The University used to have a student bar called CityBar (original I know) which has since closed down and is now used as a common room. The students union is quite literally a desk on the first floor of the Tait building. The facilities are nothing to boast about (although they are claimed to be state-of-the-art). The main library in the University Building (the main, big ugly soviet style building) has a rat problem, there is only the small canteen to get a substantial meal (however, to City's credit, there is a Costa, Starbucks and 3 unbranded coffee shop across campus). Study and social spaces are highly limited. The law school building has a small law library and a lecture theatre, however, do not expect to be in here for your timetabled classes if you're an undergrad as it is reserved primarily for postgrads and those on SQE/BPC courses (I have heard this is the same at the Bayse campus at Burnhill road). Accommodation is extortionately expensive, although it would be unfair to hold this against the institution considering the current economic climate in London. The best possible way I can describe City is as a glorified college that awards degrees. I wouldn't say it's so bad I plan to drop out and start elsewhere, but I definitely wouldn't apply again if were in year 13 again.

University rating (4)

Very quiet, lots of areas to study and lecture halls are large and comfortable. I would like there to be more activity based societies and for the society website to be updated quicker because new ones have trouble being added and there are old ones that have closed one or two years ago
